opinions on hide.me free VPN?
Hello! I recently set up my first home server, and would like to set up qbittorrent on it. I tried using protonVPN, which is what I use on desktop, but got rate limited because torrenting on the free plan is not allowed. What do you think of hide.me vpn? it has a CLI linux version, I think I can install it inside the docker container and set up a killswitch (that should be built in? at least that's what they say) to torrent safely.
I know paid VPNs are better and also pretty cheap, but I cannot afford one right now. Any tips?
free services get paid somehow. i wouldnt trust them
regardless, you want to use gluetun for your docker-based vpn client. then you can set other containers to only use gluetun for outside access, preventing public ip bleed.
I know, but It's better than exposing my IP, right? I mean, do I actually risk something using the free plan?

this is what I was using with protonVPN, but I'm not sure if I can configure it also for hide.me because it is not in the supported providers
Just go with mullvad, so far it is the only VPN I know of that allows you to pay with physical currency with zero papertrail back to you.
There is a forum where people sell game accounts and there are VPN accounts too, you can buy one for like 3 USD though PayPal for at least 6 months or something, as they are shared accounts probably the one you get would be renewed for another year or maybe more, google "playerup" good luck folk. 🙏🤞 Wish you a happy life..
uhm this sounds like a more affordable solution... thanks for pointing it out! tomorrow I'll look into it for sure!
You are welcome mate, I have like 3 years buying accounts there, and I believe they are indeed more secure than normal accounts too cos the VPN provider also didn't get your personal info, so you are just using a random account who could be used for a bunch of other people too at the same time, ultimate anonymous shit..
Just self host, it's free on Oracle cloud
Until they randomly ban you and shut down your free services
I guess that's a risk you'll have to be willing to take when you get something for free
This Gameranx video has a NordVPN sponsorship for a lower rate and 4 free months - it's pretty dang affordable. If you can afford to get that, I'd definitely do that!
